A picture from a family trip to Italy 2007.
I would always bring a picture of Michael with me every family holiday we went on. Sometimes the housekeepers would put flowers around the frame. They must have thought I was obsessed with him (which I was)😂
EDIT: just wanted to add that I was a teenage girl obsessed with Michael, not an adult. I wouldn’t do this now haha
A little update from me: I finally saw the movie with my husband after I couldn’t bring myself to go to the premiere.
10 years ago, we danced to Ben at our wedding, and I had no idea they were going to play it in the movie at all. Both of us cried. My husband was crying throughout the movie, and he isn’t even a big fan or anything like that. He loved it!
I loved the movie too. There were a few errors here and there, but overall I thought it was really good.
But now I’m left with a deep sadness. I’ve been crying a lot and don’t want to listen to Mike or see anything about him right now. Still, I’m glad I finally saw it!
My orginal post:
I’ve been a fan since the late 90s. we’re talking typical teenage obsession. Kissing my posters, sneaking out to get my first MJ tattoo at 13. You get get the deal.
I had tickets to This is it and he died 31 days before I was finally going to see him. Every birthday wish, every shooting star, I wished to see him. And then he died.
I got extremely depressed. Stopped listening to him for a long time. I was angry at him and the world. Ever since his death, I’ve kind of kept him at arm’s length.
I had tickets to the premiere of Michael but Couldn’t bring myself to go. Now I’m supposed to see it tomorrow but I’m scared of how I’ll feel after.
So to those of you who were die hard fans when he died, and really grieved him, how was it for you seeing the movie?

Just a litte positive post after surgery. I had my surgery 5 weeks ago and was back in my regular sneakers after 4 weeks. Now at 5 weeks, I’m basically pain free. I just have a little tingling and a weird feeling when I touch the incision, but that’s it. I had my neuroma for 14 years, so I can't believe I'm finally pain free.
I live in Norway, and from what I’ve read here, it seems like we do things a bit differently than in the US, which I think is kind of interesting. This is what I was told:
Week 1: Keep your foot elevated as much as possible and only walk on your heel, like going to the bathroom etc. I didn’t get a surgical sandal, I just used a big slipper. We also don’t ice after surgery here.
Week 2: Remove stiches. Start putting weight on the whole foot, but only walk indoors, like around the house. Elevate whenever you’re sitting. This was still pretty painful for me, so I used one crutch.
Week 3: Start walking a bit more each day indoor.
Week 4: Back in regular shoes and walking more outside.
Week 5: I feel pretty much back to normal and just got home from running errands and shopping, a little swollen still.
Good luck to everyone having their surgery!
